Hi all,
I'm trying to confirm if the RCA outputs on the S2 Mk3 are balanced or unbalanced, and the best way to connect to my monitor. I just picked up a Presonus Eris E5 that has unbalanced RCA, and balanced 1/4" and XLR inputs. I'm using a single monitor for now so will all be in mono.
The "cleanest" connection sounds like a single RCA cable from the left output on the S2 to the speaker, and then set Traktor audio routing to mono. But can I also use the aux / 3.5mm output on my S2 when it's in Mono mode with the same quality / result? In mono does Traktor put the entire signal on the left channel, or does a mixed signal go thru both left and right channels?
I am wanting to minimize interference/noise. I have an external display with power pass thru powering my MacBook that's giving a buzz / noise whenever the external display is plugged in.
Is there any way to do a balanced mono output from the S2, or do a need another audio controller if I want that? Or would using an RCA to XLR or 1/4" cable be any better, or even using the 3.5mm output on the S2?
I have two 3.5mm Y spltters (3.5mm aux to RCA or 1/4" TS) but I'm guessing that having a dangling RCA or 1/4" cable is not ideal...
thanks!
